Pink was in at Aurora, NE

Posted Sunday, July 29, 2007

Bull rider, Ryan Littau, bullfighter, Toby "Tinman" Inman and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, breast cancer organization were the big winnrs at the annual Extreme Bullriding Tour stop in Aurora, NE. Auora is the hometiown of our Extreme Princess, Abby McDonald, who has made it her personnel goal with the help of the Extreme Bullriding Tour to raise $5000 for the Susan G. Komen group. Special guest at the performance was Abby's special friend, Sara Delgado and her family. Sara has breast cancer and is the person who made the 9 year old so aware of th disease. Miss Nebraska was also on hand to help with this special event. In honor of her project everyone on the production staff wore pink shirts donated by Corral West Western Wear.

Although the area received rainfall during the day it did not diminish the enthusiasm of the crowd or the riders. Ryan Littau was the only mn to cover his bull in the short go giving him a score of 175 on two bulls but the crowd did enjoy several qualified rides along with several that almost made the buzzer. Double S Bull Company is noted for their well balanced set of bulls and they proved once again they don't care about a little rain they just plain love to buck!

Ryan Skillett and the production company of the Extreme Bullriding Tour gave a special tribute to Nebraska High School bullrider, Joe Melnick, the 2006 winner of th Double S Bull Company High School Series, who is leaving for the service next week. Joe also won the Double S Bull Company Series for this event with a score of 80 points and received a standing ovation by the crowd.

The"big" rain held off until just after the autograph session that follwed the event. The sesion lasted over 40 minutes and just as it came to a close the skies opened. From the time the sesion ended until the next morning the area received over 6" of rain!
